Hi there,
I have a samba install on centos 5 with the latest version of samba
(samba-3.0.33-3.28). There were two files that just disappeared. The users
description is as below:
I had worked on them – both were excel files that linked to each other. I saved
it as a different name than the original I worked from (which I found to be
very “buggy”) – the originals are still in their respective folders and can be
opened. The next morning we opened the documents on Denby’s computer and first
it wouldn’t let her save it – not even “save a copy”, I got messages the day
before it disappeared saying it was locked for editing – but I was the only one
who had used it and it was closed. I had to close excel and re-open then it
worked.
After Denby tried to edit the docs from her computer I came back to my computer
to complete the work and it was no longer in the folder and when I tried to
open it from excel I get the message (as per attached). I tried to do a simple
search for it and it told me the shortcut has been changed or moved so it no
longer works properly.
In my conf, the files resided on the "laverde" share.

Any ideas?
These files never made it into our backups as this happened prior to the actual
backup.
Thank you.
